I can't see anything about my problem from addresses you show.

 

by: gemchestPosted on 2005-02-16 at 03:05:33ID: 13322557

hi nguyen_vantuananh,

have you tried my solution above?
if es.exe boots up then hijackthis should be able to capture somewhere...

cheers,
Luis

 

by: gemchestPosted on 2005-02-16 at 03:08:07ID: 13322573

anyway, alternatively you can use msconfig to prevent it from loading

click start>run>msconfig

under startup tab, there should be a line that instruct boot up of es.exe
just uncheck and reboot

cheers,
Luis

ok what u can also do is goto start search and in the box press es.exe my bet is its in your system 32 folder once u find it u can press control alt delete and stop the process then delete it from wherever it is now if the process doesnt stop u can use killbox http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/killbox.php and type in the whole address to the file for example c:\windows\system32\es.exe and click the delete on reboot bubble and next time u reboot it will be gone have fun

by: gemchestPosted on 2005-02-17 at 18:07:29ID: 13341992

hi again,

it  might be a malicious program or an adware or something else that came in with somw downloads or when you visit some websites... as long you remove the loading portion and remove the file, it's be fine

cheers,
Luis

Is this a non-English version installed?  I see many possibilities and variants in my query below.... and es.exe isn't the only item of concern in and of itself.

Did you find anything in the startup tab as asked above from
start-run-msconfig and then check the start up tab?

If problem remains, tell us more about your environment (Operating System, version and Browser version).\

Hi LucF,

Since he/she gives no reply I'm not sure whether I've helped. At your discretion, please. =)

cheers,
Luis

Thank you, LucF for your work here.  Asker has quite a number of open questions here, some of which are quite old....
http://www.experts-exchange.com/QH_3412888.html

Asker did not respond to last input, so outcome unknown.  

Asker said "I don't know why the es.exe appear on my computer? May it make my computer slowly?" ..... but did not give details about the environment, what all is running concurrently, specific versions in use, etc.  To determine performance issues and what could cause computer response slowdown, we'd need more details to help more effectively.  Asker suspected virus, but again, no real details.

Wish I could recommend an outcome, but if this is not awarded, would definitely recommend a PAQ vs. Deletion, since information on es.exe was scant, at best.

Thanks again,
Asta
